Dr Temperance Brennan, forensic anthropologist, is called to a dump where someone has unearthed a 35 gallon drum with a human hand sticking out of set asphalt. This dump isn't all that far away from the Charlotte Motor Speedway, a NASCAR track (also IRL) and it isn't long before a complex weave of this murder, long missing people, the FBI and the racing world all begin to collide in Brennan's life. I have never seen the TV show Bones, which is based on this series (but began before this book) and given what I do NOT like to see on the screen I am not going to ever watch it (no point if I'm just going to be covering my eyes for all of the "good" stuff). That said, Riechs, a real life forensic anthropolist (one of only 85 in the USA who had been certified by the time this book was published, but who was then working up in PQ (aka the Province of Québec) although she had formerly worked in Charlotte, is not only an expert in that field, she writes well.

So, why only 3+ stars? Because this sort of novel isn't something I love even though Reichs can write, and I may well read another of these for some reading game/challenge or other in the future.
